Jade

Glad you like it too Suki's first hit in my chart was 'Good Looking' a few years ago but I definitely feel like I'm appreciating her material more consistently nowadays. thank you for commenting

Oh nice to see JADE here! I adore Madonna's original 'Frozen' but appreciate her switch-up on it too

I did vote for 'The Less I Know The Better' but I'm pleased my favourite Tame Impala song from the rate is still to come, fingers crossed it will advance.

Oh what a great week - 'Mr. Tambourine Man' and 'Heart Full Of Soul' are both big favourites of mine

'Unread content' is now working again for me

'Doin' Time' another one to drop out for me today! I wasn't familiar with the original so her version introduced me to the song in general. So excited to see Lana live for the first time next week <3 (as long as she doesn't cancel like last time I was supposed to see her )

Week 49 + 50: Quite a sea of averageness in this section as I was listening to the songs from bottom to top of your ranking and didn't really feel much until I got to Darius! My main praise for 'Rushes' is related to the strings too, there's a pleasing burst of them in the chorus. I think part of me always wants to root for him due to his BuzzJack legacy and the way he turned his initial laughing stock image around. I have a soft spot for 'Holding On For You' as well! The longing chorus gives me a really nostalgic pang each time. Ooh boys cheeky girls, ooh girls cheeky boys 🧀 this was an absolute staple of school discos! Maybe a bit questionable in retrospect for a song with "touch my bum" in its title but it was just silly, harmless fun really. Agreed that 'Be With You' is the stronger half of the Atomic Kitten double A-side. That ELO sample was a good choice for them to incorporate. My dad owned the Gotta Get Thru This album on CD so 'If You're Not The One' really takes me back to car journeys as a kid. I feel like this song isn't really my cup of tea on paper yet there's something quite compelling about it. I particularly like the middle 8 and also the falsetto that rounds off the chorus. I listened through Björk's whole studio album discography but missed 'It's In Our Hands' due to it being a Greatest Hits tie-in instead :o sounding great, the production feels so rich and textured - I really like the glitchy elements and strings in particular. 'cause this is myyyy united states of whatever *.* one of several eclectic songs to once hold the shortest top 40 hit record! I have grown to absolutely love 'Feel' now but I used to find it really difficult to process emotionally as a kid. Like you say, the piano playing is really evocative, plus it must have been one of the first songs I ever heard that discussed subjects like mortality and depression so openly. So I think it overwhelmed me for a while. But in time I let it in and think it's one of his finest moments now. Speaking of evocative piano... 'Lose Yourself' would be my favourite here too wonderful instrumental that extends to the rock bassline too and I enjoy his passionate words of wisdom. I can see why it was so successful and critically acclaimed. I've never seen 8 Mile though!

I think my votes went to CHRVCHES, Elton and Lemon Demon. Suddenly having a mind blank but I'm pretty sure that was the trio

Aw 'It Feels So Good' just missing out on the top 10! I had Kisstory on in the garden for a little while today and it came on and sounded glorious in the sun 😍 absolutely love the trance beats, euphoric strings and soaring chorus. Glad it was one of the songs to buck the trend of just one week at #1 in 2000, what a classic. 'Black Coffee' has been a slow burner for me over the years and now I hugely rate it. I'm a sucker for William Orbit ambience but the girls really shine with their harmonies too. Love the impact of the explosive outro after most of the song is so laidback. The Mel C anecdote you shared was a great read! A cracking pair of chart-toppers from her too.

Need to give all the songs a listen but great to see my favourite Ellie Goulding song turning up in this round

Switching to 'G.U.Y.' now!

It was great to have this back today! Hopefully can be there for the full session next week. Top 5 favourites: John Foxx - Underpass Jon And Vangelis - I Hear You Now Michael Jackson - Rock With You New Musik - Living By Numbers The Specials - Too Much Too Young (The Special AKA Live! EP)

Congrats to the joint winners! CHVRCHES had my favourite song of the Golden Wagner round so great to see them getting the support. Thanks to anyone who supported Addison across the competition! Getting into her music, especially 'Headphones On', has brought me a lot of joy :) 💗

week ending 22/06/25: 09 Ariana Grande [8 posts] back in the top 10 this week mostly thanks to 'twilight zone' chat - thanks all. x

Ah 'Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe' is my first casualty and I see I gave it all its points Interesting to imagine a timeline where it'd been released with a Gaga feature.
